Hell, brave D world,

why is SysError.msg() (from std.syserror) not implemented like this?

#extern (C) char* strerror(int errnum);
#
#...
#    static char[] msg(uint errcode = getErrno())
#    {
#        char* msg = strerror(errcode);
#        return msg[0 .. strlen(msg)].dup;
#    }

As far as I know, strerror() is supposed to be portable enough.
